You read it right. Great news just came up for the Galaxy S6 users, and especially those who haven’t rooted their device yet because of the fear of tripping Knox counter and voiding the warranty. Galaxy S6 owners have turned out to be way luck as compared to the previous flagship Samsung Galaxy owners who didn’t see much of greater development in the very early stages. Just today, XDA member idler1984 came up with this great work packed up inside the tool named as PINGPONG Root Tool. The root tool allows users to root a number of variants of the Galaxy S6 on some specific firmwares. The tool is just one tap application which will root your device right away without getting you involved in any kind of complications. With the release of this tool, we expect that there will be much greater developments looking forward the luck Galaxy S6 owners. According to the developer, the tool might be available for Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, HTC M9 and LG G Flex 2 soon, but right now its party time for the Galaxy S6 owners.
For those who don’t know about the Knox Counter, let’s have a brief overview of this little restriction put by Samsung. Knox Counter is Samsung’s security service implemented in Samsung Galaxy devices. Knox components activated within the device do not let the root applications to work properly, while the Knox counter implemented on the bootloader of Samsung Galaxy device records the number of custom installations. The default value for Knox counter is 0, after voiding it becomes 0x1. Flashing any custom recovery or CF-Autoroot through Odin trips the Knox counter and users are not eligible for claiming the warranty of their device anymore. Samsung introduced Knox counter with the Galaxy Note 3. The feature made its way to other devices with software updates later on. PINGPONG tool doesn’t require any Odin flashing. The tool roots the device in a single tap after being installed in the device so it will not trip Knox counter of the Galaxy S6’s supported variants.
